Get ready for Picture Lake Mills! Learn how to take artistic photographs with your smartphone.

Angie Szabo, Artist and Fort Atkinson High School Art Educator, and volunteer artists from her FAHS National Art Honor Society will be presenting the reasons behind taking photos, how to compose an interesting image, and how to use the technology already in our hands to help us take great photographs. The goal of this workshop is to help the novice photographer gain confidence, and to help those that don't yet know how to utilize their smart phone as a professional camera. We will start by discussing our own motivations for taking a photo, as knowing our goals helps us to capture images that impact or affect others. Next, we will build an understanding of composition, as well as elements of a great photograph, so we know what to look for when composing our images. Then we will explore our phone cameras to gain a stronger grasp of our tools so we can maximize the quality of our work. Lastly, you will have time to practice capturing images utilizing the tools and techniques discussed with the support of student helpers.
